Re: Licorice

I thought it was just star anise, but googling proved me wrong.

Best of luck.

Re: Licorice

I love licorice...the candy...never had the plant. We grow Anise here, but it's an ornamental.

Hiya red, if you're still looking I found a liquorice plant today at the Vic Park markets.

Re: Licorice

Hey Red, Vic Park farmers market every Sunday. John McMillan park from memory (Kent st?)More of a breakfast place when we visited due to the forecast of a shower or two.There was only one fella selling plants but I understand there are usually more. He had many interesting and rare plants including the liquorice and as per usual I got sucked in and added to my rare and unusual (and generally useless) plant collection. The liquorice ($7), being a deciduous, was his first one large enough ready for sale this spring but had more coming through in the near future as the weather warms.We will be going back for a breakfast in a couple of weeks so I can grab one for ya if you like but there were some other very cool plants you might be interested in.
